The filming of Imsai Arasan 24am Pulikecei came to a halt last year around November, with the makers alleging that Vadivelu "didn't cooperate much and was even interfering in creative ideas."

This eventually led to the film's producer, Shankar, filing a complaint against the actor with the Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC).

Now, the Council has asked Vadivelu to either resume the shooting of the film immediately or settle the losses incurred by the team, which is said to amount to more than Rs 6 crore. 

If he doesn't adhere to this ruling, we hear that no producer or director will cast him in their films in the future, which indirectly means there will be a ban in the industry against him. This has put pressure on Vadivelu. Sources close to him hope that he will join the sets of the film soon.
